- With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 132 Percent, This Marks Fund Launch’s Premier Appearance on the Inc. 5000 List -

Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that Fund Launch has been acknowledged as No. 2652 on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.

“I am beyond excited for this prestigious acknowledgement on the Inc. 5000 list as we enter our sixth year of operation,” said Fund Launch CEO and Co-Founder Mason Vranes. “With a vision to democratize Wall Street, we’re making high finance and fund management available to a much broader field of investors.”

“Our mission is succeeding,” added Co-Founder Bridger Pennington. “At present, we have facilitated the launch of more than 300 funds, with self-reported AUM of more than $4.8 billion. Our growth reflects that accomplishment, and we look forward to continuing and expanding our role as an ecosystem and platform for successful fund management for many more years to come.”

This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”

Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2025 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 22–24 in Phoenix, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. magazine.
